Gather with Leeds Sanctuary and local artist and historian, Clifford Stead, for a Sketch Walk at Kirkstall Abbey. We'll be learning about the history of this ancient site, and the importance of public access to nature and green spaces.

The Walk will be at Kirkstall Abbey (meeting point to be confirmed) at 5.30pm on Tuesday 04 August. No prior experience or knowledge of either history or sketching is required, and we'll provide you with paper and a pencil!

As a charity, we are committed to keeping our events and communities as affordable as possible, and so we have introduced a pricing structure for the Sketch Walks which allows you to choose the price which is best suited to you. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide which ticket to select when you book through TicketSource:

Recommended price ticket - £11. If you have some flexibility in your monthly outgoings, choosing this ticket covers your place on the Walk in full.

Lower cost ticket - £5.50 Our most affordable ticket price.

Pay-it-forward ticket - £16. Selecting this option will support the work of Leeds Sanctuary and enable us keep offering events and activities that are affordable to everyone.

If you would like to come but cannot afford to buy your ticket, please contact hello@leedssanctuary.org.uk for a code which will allow you to book your ticket at no cost to you.
